How do you tell the difference between tope and a Spurdog? (I'll have a pic on about 9-10 o'clock; it's just a small one though!)

 

[cod magnet]

spur dog has a sharp point on its dorsal looks like a stinger

 

[Joe-m]

Spurdog have a vicious spur infont of both dorsal fins if no spurs more likely a smooth hound

Tope have teeth:calim:
